Very cheap on a budget, but not greatReview by Jon

If you can't afford anything else this will certainly get you something to swing about, however it's definitely not a great solution if you're looking to practice HEMA in earnest.

At first impression the 'blade' is very short, more like an arming sword than a longsword, when combined with the grip which is rather long even for a proper length longsword, it becomes a bit comical.

The grip itself is circular which is not a good shape for helping with your edge alignment. The blade is likewise circular and so handles more like a bat than a sword simulator.

Onto the usage, this is an incredibly light implement, and moves far too quickly to simulate longsword fencing. Even for an arming sword it is far too nippy. 'Blade' contact between two provides absolutely zero feeling so any work from the bind becomes incredibly difficult to learn.

Considering the lightness and padded nature, these also hit surprisingly hard. I wouldn't like to give them to children to go ham with. Though on the plus side, they are rigid enough to be able to use without any flopping, and they are sturdy enough to be used abusively and still last.

In conclusion, unless you want to just bat each other madly with little to no protection on the cheap, I would not recommend this product. Even to practice cuts and sword movement I would say to look at the wooden or nylon swords on offer, as the circular grip and length of the blade act to the severe detriment of the product with regards to edge alignment and blade awareness.

This is a Good Product ,and really secure for free combat without all protective gears of HEMA (just keep the mask for keeping your eyes safe) .
The hits are strong and it give a real pleasure of the fight,you really can enjoy the thing,it's not flappy and this is the best point.
